Hamburger Mary's ownership, Phoenix Burger LLC, bought the new property from La Perla's owners, Nicholas and Jo Ann Anton, BizTimes said in a Friday report. It also bought another property near 4th Street and National Avenue.

Phoenix officials told BizTimes they wouldn't specify plans for the building other than to say the former La Perla building would likely reopen as another restaurant.
